Abstract (en)

A system 40 for starting an internal combustion engine 12 of an automotive vehicle 10 has a controller 54 coupled to a starter/alternator 42. The engine 12 has a crankshaft 50 and a turbocharger 24. The controller 54 initiates the starting of the engine 12 by rotating the crankshaft 50. The rotating crankshaft 50 displaces an amount of air from the cylinders 14 of the engine 12 to rotate the rotor shaft of the turbocharger 21. The turbocharger 25 thus draws in air, compresses the air and provides the compressed air to the cylinders 14. When the engine is started the initial power is increased due to the compressed air.
